Storms, Assumptions, Vision

I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.
~ Louisa May Alcott

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.
~ Henry Winkler

Before you begin a thing, remind yourself that difficulties and delays
quite impossible to foresee are ahead. If you could see them clearly,
naturally you could do a great deal to get rid of them but you can't.
You can only see one thing clearly and that is your goal. Form a
mental vision of that and cling to it through thick and thin.
~ Kathleen Norris
